I have owned 5 GMC Sierra Denali's and really loved those trucks but the 2019 Ram Limited is on a whole other level. The 5.7 is slightly slower than the 6.2 but in every other category the Ram is superior. I am very pleased with this truck.

4WD Hemi 1500. Just returned from trip from north Ala to Lancaster, PA and back. Interstate, highway and local sightseeing. I average 22.4 miles per gallon. I routinely average between 20 and 21 mpg. Truck has a 3.23 rear axle. Performance/ nimbleness is outstanding. Love this truck. Bought last August.

The 2019 Ram 1500 crew cab Rebel with air suspension, 12" nav display, and the 5.7 Hemi is pretty nice.
Pros: comfort, usb-c that quick charges front and back, easy to use nav system, comfortable ride (with caveats), nice convenience features like rain sensing wipers, etc. Awesome sunroof, great styling inside and out. Oh yeah, easy tailgate. Soft down and easy up. Electronic latch. I know that's low on the list but I sure is nice.
Cons: ride is not good in aero suspension setting. Have to turn off that feature. Fuel economy is terrible. Typical 11-13 mpg. If someone says it is higher they are either not using it in traffic or they are lying. The back up emergency braking is jarring and over sensitive to the point of being terrible and unusable.
I think the rebel is awesome, and the air suspension is a must. But get nerf bars because waiting for it to raise and lower every time you get out or in is not reasonable. It's not so much a con, but bears mentioning.
Reliability is anyone's guess, obviously. It is a strong truck. Transmission shifts very smoothly.
In the rebel you lose the 4-wheel auto setting, which is a really nice thing to have. My old ram had it and I got into the habit of using it in the rain when I wasn't hauling anything.
I do not like the super luxury trucks typically, but the Rebel trim is a great compromise. You get the rubber floor mats standard, reasonable off road capability (face it that's needed even if you don't go mudding), and while it is indeed a"pretty" truck, it can get down to business without you worrying you are going to scratch your Sunday go to meetin' vehicle. I opted for a drop in bedliner which I personally feel does a better job of protecting against dents.
In the end, you don't need my or anyone else's review to decide on a new ram. They are excellent vehicles. Far better fit and finish than any Ford, far better materials and comfort than any Chevy. Not that I'm a religious purist about it, but then again, I bought mine because my last truck was a ram. My next one might or might not be. For now, they are a clear winner.

The all new 2019 Ram 1500 is beautifully designed and engineered as long as you are wanting to spend $58,000 on a piece of yard art. I hope that you enjoy spend a lot of time at your local dealership where you purchased it because it will either be sitting in your yard or at the dealership. I purchased mine on 1/18/19 which was the day the problems began. I noticed a damaged trim piece and I called it to the salespersons attention who in turn got the body shop manager involved. They said they would take care of the issue. When we went to sign the papers no we owe for the trim piece. Oh yeah, I forgot about that, after reminding them the paperwork was filled out. Well, it only took 3 times of ordering the part and trips to the dealer to get the proper piece put on. No big deal, its installed. The real problems started six days after I purchased the truck. Here comes the first recall in the mail. This one has to do with an intermittent steering failure due to a faulty ground connection. No parts in stock. Have to order it. Parts comes in, I have to take it back to have the work performed. Then almost 30 days later here comes the second recall notice in the mail. This one was for the brake pedal that could possibly fall off if you use the adjustable pedals. Again, no parts in stock. Have to order and be put on a waiting list. After several calls to FCA, and being hung up on one of those times, I was told that the repair parts were being issued to dealers in limited quantities. Can’t slow down production to take care of current customer issues, now can we? FCA advised me in the meantime, just don’t use the adjustable pedals. Of course, I already had, and the vehicle will be safe to drive. I don’t know about you but I’m not willing to risk driving a vehicle that the brake pedal could possibly fall off of because a customer service rep from FCA tells me it’s safe. I still haven’t been able to figure out how intermittent steering loss and the possibly of your brake pedal falling off is safe but I digress. FCA did give me four free oil changes for my trouble. SCORE!!! Then the front brakes would squeal terribly during stopping. Apparently, this is a known issue as there is a service bulletin on the condition. The solution, replace both front brake calipers and pads. That’s right, all new front brakes. Mind you there are only 2300 miles on the truck. Most of which was going to and from the dealer. The other issue is the speed adjustable volume can barely be heard at all. Why is the volume adjustment inadequate you ask? The reason the service advisor gave me was because the active noise control module is interfering with the speed adjustable volume. FCA has designed two systems that interfere with each other and installed them on a vehicle. The current solution to this? Use the steering wheel controls to adjust the volume. Service said they tested other 2019 Ram’s on the lot and they all display the same condition so it’s not really a problem. By that logic if every engine explodes at 5000 miles then it’s not really a problem because hey, they all do it. I spent an extra $4,595.00 for the level 2 equipment group and another $1,095.00 for the 12-inch display and this is the answer I get. Completely unacceptable. I have been buying Dodge Ram’s since 2001, which is still on the road, and this by far is the worst Ram I have ever purchased. Three months in with these many issues I don’t want to think of what is next. If you are in need of a new truck now, stay as far away from the Ram as possible. I should have gone with my gut feeling and spent the extra money and bought the Ford. Save yourself a lot of time and trouble and buy something else. Time to see if I can get FCA to hang up on me again.

I have been driving Ford F150 Pick ups for the past 12 years, and this 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie, blows them all away, when looking at new pick ups the Ford has not changed, except to get worse, the interior is now very plasticity and the truck seems old and antiquated. The Ram is all new, rides so much better, looks better, my V-8 has more power than my old Fords turbo V-6 and I am getting 22 mpg, the options are unbelievable with a reclining rear seat and a huge 12" touchscreen that operates everything. The Ram has the Ford beat on payment in a big way, I Saved $40 a month for all New compared to Old and outdated

Coming from a 2017 GMC Sierra this truck is hands down a better ride and more powerful. The crew cab is huge compared to others. It rides and performs better then my previous truck and rode better then other new ones I test drove.

Wow, I just bought a new 2018 Buick Encore.. Talk about an awesome experience. From the moment I walked in, met w/Audry Kimberling (Sales), met w/Jackie Black (Finance) and met w/Adriana Burton (Delivery Coordinator). Audry listened and provided me with multiple options. He was able to answer all of my questions regarding the SUV's I looked at. In my opinion he went above & beyond. Once I made the decision on the Encore, Jackie stepped in for the 'dreaded' paperwork. Oh my how times have changed, 'dreaded' turned into a 'wow' factor and it was completed in the blink of an eye! Adriana is the bomb when it comes to going over all the features of my new SUV. She is extremely patient and also had answers for all of my questions. It really hit me later in the evening when I was reflecting upon my experience with HRB, I couldn???t have asked for anything better. The staff (even the OU guy) was friendly, took their time, answered questions, and provided me with an awesome experience. It all started w/Audry! Thank You Audry!

2018 RAM 1500 Laramie Review

Traded my 2015 Chevy Silverado V8 5.3, 6 spd, 4x2,

My Chevy with apex 350 HP V8 4x2 was nearly always in the range of 21 MPG, where my 2018 Ram is running about 19 MPG, but is 5.7, and has 4x4, making it a bit heavier, plus about 50 more HP. The Silverado was quick, but the Ram hauls! Learning to keep my foot out of fast...
We make an annual trip of about 1000 miles back and forth to COfrom Tucson AZ, will be interesting to see how it does for MPG on highway.
Looked closely at the 19s, but purchased a slightly used 18, saving us about 10,000. Am questioning the wisdom of not getting the19, with latest technology?? Bottom line, darned hard to beat an exceptional truck! My toughest adjustment is the hockey puck transmission selector. I nearly purchased a Ram when I purchased the Silverado, but didn’t like the puck, I was correct, still hate it, lowest part of the truck! I’d pay more to have a traditional gear selector!!

When I go into car dealerships, I do not get my hopes up at all. I look at vehicles only to be told that even though their commercials say they can get anyone approved, I am the less than 1% who does not get approved. Something had happened to my car unexpectedly, he engine had blew (according to Orr), so I had to find another vehicle quick. I have a family of 5 with me, my husband, and our 3 children, so a car was not even an option. From the moment that I put my pre-approval application in the night before, to the day that I walked into Rath, Owen really took care of me. He got all of my information quickly, was awesome to speak to, and he reassured me that he would get me into a car that we liked. Now, I have been to many dealerships before, so I have heard the same speech before, and had even prepared my own, "no, this is not what I want, we'll just go somewhere else," speech. However, this trip was different, I may not have gotten exactly what I wanted(mainly due to finances), but I definitely got what I needed which was an SUV over 2010 with enough space for my family. Owen was a great car salesman, and the miracle worker, Rob in finance, really helped put the icing on the cake. Owen had broke it down about what the monthly payment could cost, and as it was put to us, "the bank is like the judge, and Rob was our attorney arguing our case" and he talked my payments down from around $350ish to $274, and with my credit, that was a miracle in itself. I had an awesome experience with all of the staff, even got to meet Larry Rath (the voice on the radio) and I just have to say that they are truly a dealer for the people!

2017 RAM 1500 SLT Review

Best truck I ever owned

Smooth, good looking, Hemi strong RAM that made you feel like you owned the roads. Could not have asked for more out of a Truck, and I have owned many.

I was out driving to different dealerships window shopping with a desire to buy a new small car. I was listening to the radio and a Harry Robinson live broadcast stated that there was a sale going on and all sales tax paid if a purchase was made by end of business. I made my way to the dealership and first spoke with the DJ James and told him that I had been listening and if I purchased a car that day, it would be due to hearing the radio advertisement. I was then introduced to Steve Hartwig and he showed me a 2017 Verano. After a lengthy discussion with Steve and Adam Archer, Steve showed me a 2014 Verano with only 17,000 miles. I decided on this vehicle and in short order I was sitting with Mike Hesson closing the deal. It was a very nice experience and no one was pushy. My first Harry Robinson purchase was a 1986 Pontiac Firebird, which I traded in for a 1990 Pontiac Grand AM, which I traded in for a 2005 Buick Regal; the latter I then traded in 2007. The Regal was the best car I had ever owned. I am glad to be back in a Buick. I was introduced to Bobby the detail specialist and was pleased to find that we both spoke the same language, gibberish! LOL I returned later to be trained on all the gadgets as my pilots license expired when I left the Navy in 96'. I wish I could remember the young ladies name, she should be recognized for her cordial and professional expertise in setting up my Bluetooth, IPod and OnStar. She did a great job! My thanks to you all.
